Target Element doesn't found

Hi All,

While try to login into desktop application can’t able to use the click activity. It causes error like (Target application could not be identified. Please open it in the correct state before indicating /editing targets that belong to it.)

Please help on this to resolve.

@Ruban_shanmugam,

Open the application manually and then try indicating it.

Hi Ashok,

I had already kept open in background But while indicating that error pops

Are you sure that it is the same application as you have stated in the “use application/browser”-activity?
I ran into this problem a while back, it turned out that the window I was trying to access was part of a seperate plugin that was handled as it’s own application.
I used another “use application/browser”-activity inside the one that was already in place and after that it worked just fine.

Hello pierre,

Yes I’m sure…i had incidated the crt application.

Check, it was worth a try.
Since you wrote “while try to login into desktop application”, could this be solved by sending a hotkey instead of a click?

Hi @Ruban_shanmugam ,

Incase, if you are trying to click on Browser/SAP/JAVA based desktop application, please double check in browser extension(whether it is added, if not add from backstage of UiPath studio)

on other way, it is different from above, then use "Activate " activity to bring it in foreground and re-validate the selector

let me know, if any above worked or not, if not will look for other solution. Happy Automation!

Use application browser activity check it
Check the version of ui package and system package
Also when u try to spy check the ui framework
Try changing that ui framework values and see if it’s allowing u to spy

Also this may occurs if u r using wrong activity to spy for example u r trying to select drop down but the element were not in a tag list span

Hello pierre,

It worked…I placed one more ‘user application browser’ then applied click activity and it’s worked.

Thanks for the solution👍

Hello ashwin,

Browser extension was added already.
